Swinging London in the Sixties – Mods & Rockers – Twiggy

“I was a mod even before I became a model. You were either a mod or a rocker. The rockers rode motorbikes, wore leather gear, and the girls wore leather trousers, leather jackets. And the mods, we all dressed alike. This was before the mini. This was the early ’60s.Twiggy

We used to wear pleated skirts and hushpuppy shoes-flat, lace-up, suede shoes-nylon macs, and little grey jumpers. And the hair, which is what I had, was center parting, straight, and long. By the end of the ’60s, the mods and rockers kind of peaked. Then it became mod fashion, which was different”.Twiggy
